Conditions at Cacimba do Padre in February
February: More Offshore Flow, Same North Pulse
February trades a touch of the north swell for better wind odds. The N/NNE/NW/NNW window remains substantial at around 18 percent, with NNE the main player at 12 percent, while the rest of the spectrum fills in from NE/ENE/E/ESE. Average period drops slightly to 11.4s, but wave heights remain consistent with a strong 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) pulse and occasional 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) sets. Wind is the month's biggest upgrade: ideal offshore flow reaches 37 percent, and the ESE/SE trades, while still dominant, are less oppressive. This is a prime month for Cacimba to produce fast, bowly, occasionally barrel-shaped waves, especially when light S/SW winds line up with the longer-period N/NNE groundswell. Water temps are a warm 28.0°C with air temperatures around 25-29°C and a bit more rain (3.35 mm/day).
